One season growth of a CdD Noir cutting that I purchased from Harvey. Grew about fourteen feet tall within a year last season.

That's really impressive! Aside from what seems like really healthy plant material, do you think there's anything else that contributed to its size and performance?

Well, planted in a 25 gallon pot, osmocote fertilizer, a very humid climate, and long growing season probably contributed to its growth.

Can you tell us were you are located. Zone and state?

Mississippi gulf coast, I beleive this is zone 8. The growing medium is a mixture of 50 percent compost, 25 percent pine. Bark, and 25 percent composted cow manure. Tried to upload other pics. But seemed to have too much MB.

The osmocote was added once in early spring. It is timed released for six months.

Very impressive. Time to encourage some side branching!

Did it fruit?

HOO RAY. I LIVE IN SLIDELL AREA. NOT FAR.

Congrats on your great growth, HooRay.  That blows my CdDN out of the water, mine only grew about 2' in its first year despite being planted in-ground in a greenhouse.  It was my slowest grower.  For comparison, the celeste planted beside it has a trunk about 1.5" thick after 1 season, whereas the CdDN is only as thick as a pencil.

That really is amazing! The closest I had was a Black mission last year that sent up three branches over three feet each, but since I planted the cutting directly outside the winter has probably taken all of those gains except girth of the base and root growth. Did you cut this one up to overwinter?

Very impressive.  I use Osmocote slow release fertilizer too.  It did really well for my trees last year.

Wow that is amazing. Great job.

Great stuff

Btw did anyone growing cdd blanc noted it is slow growing?
There is an article that says it need chill hours to grow properly...

My experience has been that you could have two cuttings from the same tree and the growth rate between one and the other would vary dramatically.
Some cuttings might take off nicely from the start then slow down afterward, while others might do the opposite.
Among other factors, the medium used i.e the soil etc.. has a lot to do with it. When I tried rooting my three cuttings of Col de dame Blanc, one of them barely grew while the other two were super fast growers.After I moved one to in ground, growth slowed down but if I recall correctly, it still yielded over 30 figs in its second leaf, while the one left in pot yielded 6 or 7. So there were super fast growth the first year then for some reason, they both slowed down in the second.
I got rid of the third CDD B. I believe that being root bound along with root overheating during the summer months, lack of nutrients and a poor watering plan are the primary suspects that contribute to slow growth in pot. Let's not forget that not all fig varieties are suitable for container gardening.
This year I took my other CDD B and put it in ground at another location hoping that it will perform better. I just have to make sure that it gets the water it needs.
